In case you have changed your place of working permanently, you need to get your PAN amended and can file the return accordingly. Otherwise, you may continue to file your return at old address. There are certain other factors working like employer's address but only for limited purpose.

AI Summary

PAN address amendment determines where income tax returns should be filed after a permanent change of working residence. If a taxpayer has permanently changed place of working/residence, the PAN must be amended and returns filed at the new address; if not permanent, returns may continue to be filed at the original PAN address; the employer's address is relevant only for limited purposes.
